Man Utd V Chelsea Tip
He scored in the return fixture and is something of an away-day specialist.
Manager of the month for April, Rafa Benitez can rightly feel that his squad rotation policy is working a treat after Chelsea secured a spot in the Europa League final while keeping pace with Arsenal and Spurs in the Champions League chase.
Juan Mata only came off the bench for 15 minutes against Basel on Thursday and is therefore primed to start on Sunday at Old Trafford. The Spanish international has enjoyed a stellar campaign in which he has found the net 18 times for his club in all competitions. He is a best price of 10/3 (WilliamHill) to score anytime against United, and that looks like a bargain.
The 25-year-old curled home a superb free-kick in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge Road and was a constant threat. But interestingly Mata has been particularly deadly on away days this season. 12 of his 18 goals have come when Chelsea were on their travels, and he could add to his tally today.
